Manoj Bajpayee, Divya Dutta, and Boman Irani lead the cast of the film Last Man in Tower. Directed by Ben Rekhi, this movie stars these talented actors alongside Sukant Goel and Chandan Roy Sanyal. The film is set to be released in theaters and has garnered a rating of 3 stars.
Vijay Mishra, portrayed by Manoj Bajpayee, is a popular tuition teacher nicknamed 'master ji' who resides in a rundown residential building in Mumbai's Vakola area. Mrs Puri, played by Divya Dutta, is one of Vijay's neighbors who allows him to look after her autistic son when she is preoccupied. Gaurav, Vijay's son, lives separately due to a strained relationship with his father. Despite his personal circumstances, Vijay still makes it a point to visit Gaurav and spend time with his grandson.
The scheming Dharmen Shah, played by Boman Irani, aims to construct a large complex on the prime land where Vijay and his neighbors live. When Vijay and a few other elderly residents refuse to vacate their homes for redevelopment, Dharmen resorts to manipulative tactics to achieve his desired outcome. The film explores the consequences of this situation for Masterji and the rest of the community.
The performances of Bajpayee and Dutta are highlighted as key strengths of the film, with their relatability quotient contributing to the audience's connection with the characters. Boman Irani, Chandan Roy Sanyal, and Sukant Goel also deliver commendable performances. Director Ben Rekhi's direction receives praise for expertly presenting the lead actors in a fresh light, avoiding any stereotypical portrayals.
The film's writing, including the dialogues by Juhi Chaturvedi, and the cinematography by Rangarajan Ramabadran and editing by Meghna Manchanda Sen are commended for their seamless execution.
Despite these positive aspects, the film's lack of effective publicity is noted as a potential drawback. However, despite this, Last Man in Tower is presented as a masterclass in acting. The film is recommended for viewers before the theater industry discourages them with statements like "Aapko hamaare Theatre mein nahi dekhne hua toh kya... OTT par jald hi dekh lena."
